Obsidian Wedding, Elopement + Adventure

✨DISCOUNTED DESTINATION ELOPEMENTS ✨🌴🌿

I have a few trips planned so far for 2023 and 2024, and I'm inviting couples to take the leap into an adventure elopement at a discounted price.

I've been to a lot of weddings and I can tell you one thing for sure - most of my couples say they wished they could elope, but that their family would be upset. Well guess what? It's your story and they'll understand. Besides, you can always throw a party for them later!

Adventure elopements are all about having an entire experience wrapped around your vows instead of just one (likely stressful) day. Instead of worrying about the venues and the caterers, the seating charts and the RSVPs, you can focus on doing the activities that you love (or exploring new ones together), in a place that will be surely memorable. Think of it as the wedding and honeymoon all rolled into one.

Eloping in front the Arenal Volcano, hiking Machu Picchu, saying vows in front of Nauyaca Falls after riding a horse there - adventure elopements take "wedding" to the next level, and IT'S WORTH IT.

Here are the dates I have so far:

COSTA RICA - November 10-22, 2023

PERU - December 10-22, 2024

I can’t always say I’ve “been through” things with the couples whose love-stories I get to photograph, but with these two, every shoot has been its own kind of adventure full of laughter, mishaps and usually unreasonably cold temperatures.

Everything from rock climbing and losing the car keys in the woods on the way out to uncontrollably shivering in a frozen, mountainside waterfall until we were literally unable to speak.

I wouldn’t have expected anything less from their vow ceremony, which was windy AF, cold and full of absolutely perfect light.

EVERY shoot we’ve done has been a well-worth-it adventure thanks to their willingness to go out of traditional bounds, to trust me and to seek the things that reflect who they are.

Today is their big day. A day to start an entirely new and much longer adventure. ⛰️ 🌲 🥾 🧗‍♂️

You two are wild for the mountains and I love it. Happy Wedding day! See you in a few hours!

Well folks, it's about time.

After a few years of trying to balance and blend one social media account for a very different set of businesses (motorsports and well, everything else), I've finally made a home specifically for Obsidian Wedding + Elopement.

Follow + Share the love!
